Flintoff hails comeback kings England captain Andrew Flintoff toasted his team-mates after they crowned the Ashes tour with one-day success. Flintoff's men completed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in sporting history to shock world champions Australia 2-0 in the finals of the Commonwealth Bank Series. England seemed destined to catch an early plane home when they lost twice in a week in Adelaide mid-way through the tournament but they somehow ripped up the form book to qualify for the best-of-three showdown.

But for a poor performance by the Australians (a rare site after their previous performances), England could have been on their way home already. But the innings played by Collingwood was probably the finest one day international innings for a long time.McG
